Junru Ziqi

This year's New Year is particularly sad, especially after the death of the princess, the New Year in the palace is much more dull.

After this year's New Year, it's time for Ye Ziqi to study at the Kyoto Academy.Sending the eldest son in is not enough, this is really the rhythm that will kill the third prince.

On New Year's Eve, a royal feast is held to celebrate the festive season.This is also the first time that Ye Ziqi was asked to be taken to the palace by name, and this is also the first time that Ye Ziqi entered the palace.

Ye Ziqi's dress was light but dignified, and entered the palace with his father and elder brother through the early morning dew.

Leaf period is a little sleepy, I got up earlier than usual today, it is inevitable that I don't have enough sleep, my mouth is pouting and my eyes are closed and opened.It doesn't look like there is any tension, rather a heartless look.

Ye Zimu looked distressed, pulled Ye Ziqi over, hugged him in his arms, let him lie down and rest for a while, so as not to lose energy after a day.

The third prince frowned slightly and blamed Ye Zimu for spoiling his younger brother too much, but he didn't say anything.

This royal banquet was extraordinary. As a qualified politician, the Third Prince had clearly discovered the emperor's intentions, so he was extremely worried.

Ye Zimu looked at the worry on his father's face, and said, "Father is more worried, my brother will be fine with me taking care of him." The third prince nodded approvingly, Ye Zimu is indeed his eldest son, With such a demeanor, I feel a lot more relieved.

The palace is very different from the palace. When you get to the palace, you have to get out of the car and walk.The palace is majestic and majestic, with five steps on the first floor and ten steps on the first floor, and a pavilion with carved columns and painted columns.This is the imperial palace, ruthless and majestic yet alluring, it is a symbol of power.

All the ministers and their family members came to the scene, and the royal children also arrived one by one. For a while, the attic of the imperial garden was very lively.

The third prince's family came before the banquet started.

Ye Ziqi felt a little helpless for no reason, this was the first time he saw so many people, it seemed as if the peaceful world was suddenly broken, and there were noisy crowds all around, just like that never-ending calm Life.So many people, so many laughing people.

They walked over one by one, sad or hesitant, and expressed their sorrow for Mrs. Ye's departure to Ye Ziqi's family.Ye Zimu has maintained a good demeanor since the beginning - thank you, quite like his father, which is really impressive.

And Ye Ziqi also stood obediently aside, expressing his gratitude to those who came to express their sorrow.Ye Ziqi looks seventy percent like his queen mother, and everyone who passes by pays attention to it. The appearance of Ye Ziqi pursing her thin lips looks very much like the jade doll in the picture scroll.

The center of the banquet slowly unfolded, and Emperor Ye Chongguang appeared in the center of the crowd.Wearing a yellow robe with tassels on top is extremely majestic.His eyes were determined, somewhat similar to the Third Prince's, but even sharper.There is a smile on the corner of the mouth, but frost in the eyes.He swung his sleeves and walked over surrounded by everyone.

Ye Zimu didn't have enough concentration after all, so he couldn't help but was taken a step back by the emperor's aura.Ye Ziqi stood still and didn't move, just staring at the emperor surrounded by the crowd with wide eyes.Then he saluted the emperor with his father and elder brother.

"Are you the Leaf Stage?" the emperor casually lowered his eyes and asked. "Yes." Ye Ziqi nodded slightly.The emperor still had a smile on his face, but he walked closer and reached out to touch Ye Ziqi's head. The hand was very cold, and he touched it every now and then.

Suddenly changed a sad tone. "What a poor child. I don't have a biological mother at such a young age. Come to the palace to study with the princes in the next year. Huayi, this is the second son of your third prince's family and also your younger brother. He will come to the palace to be your companion after the next year. But get along well with him."

The child in light blue fox fur clothes is the current crown prince. The crown prince is only in his early ten years this year. Such a beautiful brother to accompany.

Prince Ye Huayi hurried over, held Ye Ziqi's hand, and smiled happily.The emperor's eyes glanced at the hands they were holding, and no one noticed the contempt and disgust in his eyes.

The banquet started with gorgeous music.

I have to say it's really boring, you have to be careful with every move.During this period, all the hidden words in the emperor's words were rounded up by the third prince without any risk.

After the banquet, the third prince took Ye Zimu to visit the old minister of the Xie family. Ye Ziqi was sent back to the palace under the third prince's signal.

It was still the carriage going back, and the streets were the most noisy in the evening.During the leaf period, the curtains were opened in boredom, and outside the curtains was a different lively world.There are lights and festoons everywhere, there are hawkers and civilians, and the sound of hawking and talking is mixed together.As expected of the emperor's feet, there is a prosperous and lively Chinese New Year scene everywhere

The servant girl Huang Si'er who was waiting on the side looked at her, and suddenly turned her head to stare at her highness, and explained to the second highness quite consciously: "Second highness, today is the annual blessing festival. Many small businessmen and hawkers Things are sold on this day, and people buy new year’s goods, but it’s very lively.”

"Oh." Gently lowering the curtain, Ye Ziqi lowered his eyes and didn't know what he was thinking.

————————————————

Walking on the busy street, a child who couldn't hide his surprise stood beside him.The man felt that this was the malice of the world.

Let's start a few hours ago.Ye Ziqi passed the corridor after returning to the palace.A man hurried over from the corner was about to bump into Ye Ziqi, but fortunately, the guards around Ye Ziqi quickly stopped him.This frightened the servant girls on the side.

He buckled the man down.In the leaf stage, I got dressed and fortunately didn't suffer any injuries.The man raised his head, and it turned out that he was the servant who boldly took the leaf stage up the tree last time.

Ye Ziqi rolled her beautiful eyes and muttered, "So it's you."

The maid Huang Si'er rushed forward and slapped the man.He yelled: "You damned servant, if something happens to the Second Highness, you won't even be able to give ten lives, hurry up, come, give him to me..."

"Wait, I'm fine. Forget it, we've known each other for a long time." Ye Ziqi casually said to Huang Si'er. "Um, yes." Huang Si'er was stunned for a moment, but still bowed her head obediently.

"By the way, come with me." Ye Ziqi, who was about to leave, stopped, suddenly looked back and smiled, and whispered to the man who was dazed on the ground.Looking at the dimples on the child's face, the man had a bad feeling.

It's all because the dog in the concierge was in a hurry to ask for things, so he rushed to deliver things. Now that he bumped into the Second Highness, he yelled in his heart that it was bad, but he was not very scared. I don't know why I always treat this The child holds a very good affection.

But what he didn't expect was that the Second Highness came to him to ask him to take him out of the palace.First, he asked the name of the man kneeling at his feet, Ye Ziqi pursed his lips, and smiled a bit wickedly: "Nianshan, right? It doesn't matter if you don't want to, then what about your crime of collision?"

"I'll just go for a while." Ye Ziqi suddenly put on a pitiful look, his eyes full of hope.Ye Ziqi knew that the only person who had the courage to take him out was this strong man, and there was nothing he couldn't do that he wanted to do.The leaf stage used its own advantages to pretend to be pitiful without any pressure.

Nian Shan had no other choice, he was just an ordinary servant.Bumping into the Second Highness and taking the Second Highness out, this is really stretching the head and shrinking the head.Gritting his teeth, Nian Shan let Ye Ziqi change into casual clothes and led him out through the small door.

It was really lively outside.It is different from the sadness and calmness of the palace, and also different from the grandeur of the palace. The market on the street is the most real world for ordinary people.

Small vendors hawking, adults traveling with children at home, everything is a novel experience for more than leaf period.But he is still a child of the palace. Although he is curious, he just looks at the surrounding scenes with his beautiful peach blossom eyes, but he doesn't know how to blend into it.

Nian Shan didn't know why he began to feel sorry for such a child. A child who was too well-behaved and mature was deprived of the freedom to play.Some criminals took Ye Ziqi's hand and said to him: "I'll hold on to you so you won't lose it. Come on, I'll take you for a walk." As expected of a rough man, he slapped his chest and pulled Ye Ziqi to squeeze into the crowd.

Ye Ziqi had candied haws in one hand and candied clay figurines in the other, and had a fun time with Nian Shan.I have never seen it before the leaf stage, but it is very novel.

On the other side of the street, a child dressed in black was walking alone on the bustling street. The young man was a little thin and his clothes were a little thin. The breath on his body made the people around him unconsciously move away.It seems to be out of tune with the lively world here.

Suddenly he saw the things of the child in front of him being stolen.That child came from a wealthy family when he was born, and the clothes are exquisite, so it would be strange not to steal him.

The boy thought for a while and rushed forward.The boy was very skilled and stepped forward to suppress the thief.As soon as he stretched out his hand, he discounted the thief's hand.

He took something back from the thief, and it turned out to be a delicate jade pendant.Regardless of the thief who was screaming and hurting on the ground, the boy unconsciously rubbed the lines on the jade pendant in his hand.Then he handed the jade pendant to Ye Ziqi who was catching up.

Ye Ziqi glanced at the thief who was rolling on the ground, but didn't say anything, but secretly screamed in his heart.

Ye Ziqi stretched out his hand to take the jade pendant.The boy's hands were very cold, and also lacked any color, with some calluses on his fingertips.When he touched Ye Ziqi's warm hand, the boy hurriedly took it away as if he was frightened.

"Thank you." Ye Ziqi, who took back the jade pendant, thanked the young man who was about the same age as his elder brother with a polite smile.Holding the lost and recovered jade pendant in her little hand, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise it would be easy to handle if the jade pendant was lost.

"It's okay." Maybe it was Ye Ziqi's calmness towards the thief's plight, or maybe his smile was too good-looking.The boy was stunned and said only one sentence, then he pursed his lips and turned his head slightly without saying a word.

Nian Shan thanked the young man repeatedly, and took out money to express his gratitude to the young man.But he was politely rejected by the young man.Nian Shan had no choice but to thank him again and hastily pulled Ye Ziqi to bid farewell to the boy and left.

When leaving, Ye Ziqi suddenly turned his head.The little boy in black still stood where he was, watching them leave.Ye Ziqi's expression froze, he frowned slightly, turned his head and left with Nian Shan.

Watching their backs gradually going away, the boy in black thought to himself.

So it's... from the Ye family?
